Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of intermediate 3 (6.0 g) in acetic acid (6 ml) was added acetic anhydride (5 g). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 110° C. After cooling, the crude mixture was poured into a mixture of ethyl acetate (400 ml), water (600 ml) and saturated NaHCO3 (200 ml). The organid layer was rinsed with water and concetrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on SiO2 (gradient; hexane: diethyl ether=2:1 to hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to give N-[2-cyano-4-(2,4,6-trimethylpenyl)-thiophen-3-yl]-acetamide (intermediate 4).
